Abstract
An equation is developed to determine the limit of approach to live parts of transmission lines, based on the highest switching surges and including safety factors. The effect of temporary protective gaps is shown. The mechanism of shocks experienced by linemen during loose contact with a tower is discussed and it is concluded that such shocks are harmless but annoying and can be eliminated by introducing conducting shoes for live-line work, especially on extra-high-voltage lines.
